Ronald, tell you the truth I haven't used it for my legs yet. I've had to really bad knee injurys, however I will be using it soon for my rehab. The over all use of this system is Great. I wish it came with the video's. Hope this helps.

there are bands that you attach to the bottom stretch bands to do your workout, if that's what you mean.

It depends on the resistance you select. Most importantly, you will tone your leg if you follow the instructions.

The only issue I can see with this machine is the lack of height adjustment. Someone quite tall with long legs or a really long torso could have issues/not be able to get full benefit from the machine perhaps, otherwise it is a very strong & sturdy machine, I would think it would be good for any body type.

I haven't used it in this manner .legs have 7 spaces to adjust up so I think you could use over a commode.

Not as powerful as for the feet, but it really does help the legs. My problem is because the unit is taller in order to massaage the calf I have to have my husband lift my legs in and out.

yes and it is the best thing that I have found to do the job at a reasonable price. The person using it legs are very sensitive to pressure of any sort on the feet and lower legs

Mostly feet and calves. It will squeeze the ankles but it is not a primary function in my opinion.

I would worry about the stability of the unit after several moves. The unit is heavy when you think of how much dirt goes into it. If I were to do this, I would make sure there is additional support for the legs.

I did not get instructions for mine. I did Google how to use it and there are a ton of instructions there. My Dr told me how she wanted me to use if for my leg as well. Sorry I could not help more.

It runs automatically for 15 minutes without having to push the pedals, but keeping the feet in the pedals and the legs straight would be a problem I think. For use with a partially paralyzed man, I have to place it up against a wall so it doesn't move all over the floor, use a gait belt around his thighs to keep his legs from splaying, and it takes awhile to get his feet secure in the pedals. They still slip out on occasion. Shoes and barefoot didn't work, so we use slippers. It's not an easy set-up.

I can't exactly answer your question but I might be able to help you make your decision. This machine gives no resistance itself. only the muscles required to move your legs. It will create movement of the foot, ankle, knee and hip joints much easier than an exercise bike. The sitting position can be adjusted depending on what you sit on. So if a doctor said to lightly exercise the hips, this is a good bet.

Before you buy the machine look for information in internet, supposedly works. Now, from personal experience I have a relative who is inflamed legs and the machine will help, also know a lady who told me that I help, for it was to buy it.

James, this machine only works in the seated position. This is why I bought it. Lying leg curls hurt my knees so seated, I get the same exercise for the most part without the pain... if you want to do the lying leg curls, you can get a bench that has many attachment options, leg curl attachment being one. I hope this is helpful... keep at it.... :)

As you adjust the resistance for the arms you will also find it more difficult to straighten the legs. Its a very good total body workout and great for exercising when viewing at home media.

Mine did come with some damage. The covering on one of the pads for the leg raises had a two and a half inch tear. The box had a hole of similar size on it upon arrival. Will call tonight for a replacement part.

Range and motion for this machine is great! Yes you can start with your legs fully extended.

Will defiantly work on legs in shower if you keep running water over... Other areas .. Not sure

With the legs out, it does make noise and isn't very smooth. It works better with the legs up.
